Wedding Quote Wednesday

Here are a few funny quotes from the past to get my Atlanta friends feeling good on this miserable rainy hump day.  All of my other friends can enjoy too, even if it is not raining where you live.

1.   October 2010 - Kelly and I were talking about when she gets older and moves out of the house.  She said she never wants to leave the house.  I said that is fine, but just know that while you are living at my house you follow my rules.  One of the rules I told her was no boys.  Without blinking an eye, she says "Dad I will just sneak out of the house at midnight and go meet my boyfriend."

2.   January 2011 – Kelly was talking to Grandmom on the phone today and they were talking about when Grandmom and Pop-Pop were coming for a visit.  Kelly told Grandmom that her and Pop-Pop would have to sleep on the floor in the girls' room instead of on the extra bed in the toy room, "because the girls do not like having to clean the toy room."

3.   March 2011 - Overheard this conversation bewteen Amy and Annie (Annie was 7 at the time). Not sure the beginning, but probably had something to do with fighting with her sister.  Annie begins, "But, she ..."  Amy interrupts with, "I said, No more talking!"  After a 10 second stare down, I hear Amy say, "Do you understand me?"  They continue staring and then Amy says "Well?"  And Annie looks at Amy, dead in the eye, and mumbles, "You said no more talking."

 

If a Tree Falls in the Woods...

You know the saying, "If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"  My deep thought goes like this, "Is it possible with one statement to three girls at the same time to be all knowing and powerful; humored and dismissed; and completely questioned as if I speak a Foreign language and am completely wrong?"  If you live in a house that has three girls aged 4, 7 and 9, the answer to that deep thought is, YES. Especially so if the 4 year old worships the ground you walk on, and believes everything you say and only trusts what you said even if another person said the exact same thing five seconds before you.  And, if you have a 7 year old who is the life of the party and lets things go in one ear and out the other and just goes about what she was planning anyway.  And if your 9 year old is going on 25 and is [unfortunately] too much like you and always has to be correct and have the last word and thinks she is the smartest person in the room on any given subject whether she even knows what the subject is about and has a hard time admitting she is wrong and will take things to the grave still believing she is correct, and will continue to argue over a topic even though she knows she is wrong just in hopes that the other person will give up and say she is correct. If you have all three types of those people living in your house at the same time, then you definitely can be the greatest, invisible, and the worst person, all at the same time.
